I... am not sure if this is the right place for asking this. If it isn't, I apologize.

Anyway, I was wondering if zombie skintones are really skins or just overlays, and if there is anyway to make a semitransparent one. Because most defaults I could find are extremely pale, and I hate when my dark-skinned sims are suddenly pale if they become zombies. I am asking because I've seen semitransparent werewolf and plantsim skins before, and I thought they weren't overlays?

I'm not very experienced with creating, all I can do is recolor and default skins and eyes, sadly. I was just wondering if it was possible before trying to mess with SimPE and screwing something up.

Sorry if I am being annoying or confusing, I struggle to get my point across in english sometimes. And please forgive me if I posted on the wrong place, as I am not really familiar with these forums.

Zombie skintones are skintones, vamps are overlays, pretty sure the wolfs and plantsims are regular skintones as well. Do you have links to the ones that were semi-transparent?

not to read like a rude person, (sound like doesn't quite say it right here)

but plantsims are a desease with a make-up job over all of the body
that is not a skintone of it's own

so are wherewolfs (read about it on sims.wikia.com)

and for the semi transparant stuff
the only ones I have seen are build upon the ghost-mesh what means the sim is dead
